Kansas City - Weak division and they were the most banged up team in the league this year. I don't know why but I really like that team. I just don't see San Diego improving much this offseason and they're falling apart as it is.

Eagles - After just slapping a bunch of big names on the roster, they now have a season of playing together. They'll improve.

bears...maybe. i know you're excited about tice being the OC and them moving back to their particular natural brand of football, but i just don't know if it can make them relevant anymore. i don't see them moving backward. they will just depend on having their defense control the game. if that happens then they will win most games. if they get down by a couple TDs, forget about it.

the colts, if manning comes back and is healthy they will get back into the playoffs. beyond that i'd just expect for the colts to do better than last year. the bar isn't set particularly high.

the chiefs, chargers, and raiders should all do better than the broncos next year.

i think the rams become the most improved team next year. i don't see them doing better than the 49ers, but i see them making the turnaround that the lions did this year.

In the AFC, agree that Pitt will probably be out. They are going to have a lot of turnover on the defensive side of the ball. Jets will rebound and get back in. Same with San Diego. Denver is out due to the continuing drama/distraction that will plague their QB position as long as The Golden Calf of Bristol is there.

In the NFC, Panthers in if, and only if, they are aggressive in fixing the defensive side of the team. Eagles make it to keep Andy around. Atlanta out and working on coaching interviews this time next year.

This is a surprisingly tough exercise without seeing what teams do in FA and the draft. Too much changes between now and September.
